The policy among other gas-related policies are being considered following the Atomic Junction Gas explosion that killed seven people and injured over 100 others.<\/p>\n<p>Per the policy, all gas cylinders will be filled by cylinder bottling plants for onward delivery to retail outlets instead of the LPG outlets, to improve safety of LPG as well as increase access.<\/p>\n<p>But, according to the Vice President of the LPG Marketing Companies Association of Ghana, the decision to phase out their role in the new regime, despite their relevance as the major player in the industry is an absurdity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur main role has been shredded into pieces, while they claimed they\u2019re going to give it a different license regime. Secondly they\u2019ve left us out completely in the new policy which is of a major concern to us,because it\u2019ll risk our survival in the business,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Association will hold a Press conference on Tuesday, December 19, 2017 to pour their concerns and the decisions they\u2019ll be taking in the interim to resolve their issues with the regulator.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: 32 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Saturday, 16 December 2017 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2017-12-16 Atomic juncation gas explosion site The LPG Marketing Companies Association of Ghana wants government to release the full investigative report into the gas explosions that hit two fuel stations at Atomic Junction months ago. \u201cIt is through our activities that this unfortunate incident happened, so [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":426840,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-447561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
